Was Lebanon supposed to be a Christian country?

Someone told me that, after the French Mandate, Lebanon was intended to be a Christian/Druz country, while Syria was for the Arabs. Like a 2 State Solution.

Is there any truth in this?

Thanks.

How do Lebanese Christians view Syrian/Palestinian Christians?

I saw an old post in this subreddit where this Lebanese Christian guy (who lives in the U.S.) was saying that his parents oppose him being married to a Palestinian Christian woman because of what the PLO did in the civil war.

This surprised me, I thought Lebanese Christians would have a more positive view of other Arab Christians since they are both minorities. Or that they'd be more accepting of them at least compared to Palestinian Muslims. I know the PLO had Christian members too but wouldn't a Palestinian Christian have more in common with a Lebanese Christian?

Have the baalbak ruins ever been hit by earthquake ?

Considering it’s on an active line. If it’s still held up considering beirut had collapsed many times because of earthquakes, then it makes sense so many empires wanted it

Im confused from missionaries

Hello, Im living in Europe but have many friends and colleagues from Lebanon. Theyre all Muslims and quite passionate about it. I therefore thought my whole life Lebanon was a Muslim place.

Last year I joined several social media platforms(Instagram and Twitter) and to my surprise almost every week I see people calling Lebanon "historically Christian" and that it would be wrong to portray Lebanon as part of the Islamic world. Its mostly the same type of people making these statements and therefore I doubt their assessment. I asked some of colleagues on work about this issue and they gave me an alternative explanation. Something about outdated censuses by the French in 20th Century and civil war here and sectarian conflict there blah blah blah

My question, is Lebanon actually a Christian place and the Muslims are a minority or are the censuses really that outdated?

Wasta/Connection at the German Embassy in Beirut

My cousin got a scholarship to finish his studies in Germany. He got all his docs together and even had his “final” interview before submitting his papers.

Out of experience this might take 1-6months before they give a green light. Hence, I wanted to check if anyone knows anyone that can have a look at his case.

Thanks in advance. Please feel free to dm me for further details.

How safe are concerts for women going alone?

Hello! (21F) I’m thinking of going to a metal concert and I have no one to go with, so I was wondering, is it safe to go alone? It’s in Beirut and I’m not really familiar with it since I live in keserwan. This would be my first concert alone so I’m worried!

Lebanese women married to a foreigner

Specifically if u live/lived in Lebanon. How was the process, especially for residency? Is it hard? I’d love any input and how u did it.

Specifically specified Lebanese women because I feel the process with us getting married to a foreigner is entirely different from men. A lot harder.

What's your skincare routine, men?

And ladies you are welcome to contribute too, of course. Just was curious if any other men have a specific routine.

Please don't talk to me about hair though, I lost all that in 1921 lol.

Are some Lebanese actually reviving Aramaic as a language?

And if so, are they reviving the spoken language of Western Neo Aramaic, or the liturgical language of Syriac, a dialect of ancient Eastern Aramaic?
